I Have a 3 year old pacing filly that just came into heat and will not come out. This is the first time she has come into heat.Being in heat all the time has effected her training. I would like to know how to bring her out of heat and what medication to use.

Hi, Gary,
We have a 10yo mare that is receptive to stallions all the time, all year round, even during pregnancy.
She has successfully and uneventfully foaled four healthy ones, though she was covered twice during pregnancy.
She's a very demanding horse (a bitch to handle), as she won't forgive the tiniest mistake from the ground or under saddle, but a really tough and honest worker and a magnificent mother, so we chose that we live with her temperament and leave her hormones alone.

Deborah,
I suspect she may be transitional and likely she will go out of heat any time now, for more on this see Equine Reproduction » Breeding and Foaling » Breeding Patterns in Mares and Stallions. If you wanted to try something you could go through a 14 day course of Regumate and then take her off of it. She might then come into a normal heat that quits within a week, for more see Equine Reproduction » Breeding and Foaling » Stimulating Mares to Cycle Early.
